It's in!! Jon came by earlier and gave me a hand, fixed up my reverse light sensor too :) Have a little more rewiring to do (Alt and ISC) and need to mount the IC and figure out the pipe routing but the hard stuff is done. :D Gotta rip some stuff off the Escort tonight that I need to ship on...
BTW-if anyone needs some parts to turbo a Ford Escort I'm parting my wagon :) No worries though, I'll have another to play with AFTER the Supra is done, some guys I work with and I are building a 2dr for the Grassroots Motorsports $2008 challenge :D
Yup, we bought an '06 Escape last weekend and I'm going to keep her '96 Escort for making the 800mi round trip to visit her on weekends. No one would pay what I wanted for the wagon whole so I'm putting it back to stock and selling it.
Thus far I've resisted the temptation to turbo the '96...
MS kits start at around $120 (diyautotune.com) if you know how to solder :)
Good to see an MKIII in the $2k challenge, looks like you got a killer deal and a solid start!
We've got a team together here in TX as well but we're not building a Supra :D Think Ford Escort on crack and you're...

Trying to figure out how to clock the turbo so I can hook up my IC piping and the oil drain. Kind of a...
MSpaint FTW!! Bout to head back out with the grinder and make more of a mess in my garage :D I'd be getting alot more done if there weren't clouds of pollen blowing around :nono:
Yankiwi-A/C wiring Q-what'd you do with the connector that comes off the bottom of the 2j compressor? I was...
So basically cut from the line over (my MSpaint skills are as good as my wiring skills:biglaugh:):
Few other things from helpful PMs (mobes, yankiwi, and hottsc):
Gauge temp sender: "The single wires, one is the water temp (Yellow/Green) and the other is the cold start time switch (Green)...
Got some more stuff done last night/this AM. Have about 80% of the wiring done, mobes is gonna lend his skills to finish the other 20% :) CPS is very poorly modded (I call it dok-style) and in and I ground some on the p/s bracket:
You guys who've done this, you think it's enough to...
Lol, nice. Lemme know if you need any help this weekend, although you probably don't want my ghettofab methods used on your car :)
I'm parting the Escort right now but hopefully I'll get time to get the 2J ready to drop in before Saturday if you're free ;)
